It was very beautiful, very well done. However, you mustn't arrive late because once it starts, you enter complete darkness. If I hadn't been accompanied, I wouldn't have been able to find my way around as I couldn't see anything. But once you're settled in, it's worth it for both children and adults. It's very well done. Bravo to those who worked on these images.

A thoroughly successful show, both in terms of its aesthetic quality and its educational value. I went with two children aged 5 and 6, who loved it and would have happily stayed longer! Special mention also for the magnificent soundtrack.

A little disappointed by the lack of seating and inconsiderate visitors who stand in front of you, blocking your view of the videos... The children's workshop is very well organized.

It was really cool! But finding a good spot to sit was tricky. Also, I didn't know that on one wall, there was English subtitles, so I missed those for most of the experience.
